Best pest control software: which vendors publish a price and which only quote

Search “best pest control software” and the first page is a wall of leaderboards: numbered lists, star scores, a winner declared before anyone asked how many routes you run or which state signs your applicator licence. Most of those pages are written by vendors about themselves, or by affiliates paid per click, and almost none of them price anything from the vendor’s own website.

So this is not a ranking. It is a price sheet and a fit read, built from one rule: every dollar figure below comes from that vendor’s own page, fetched on 12 September 2026. Where a vendor does not publish a figure, the cell says “not published, quote only” rather than carrying a number lifted from a review site. Where a vendor’s page would not load for us, the page says that instead, in those words.

One disclosure before the verdicts. We publish the free pest calculators this page links to, and we are also building the field service app it closes with, Fieldwynn. That gives this comparison a stake, and you should know it before you read a single row. The discipline that keeps it useful anyway is the sourcing rule above, applied to us as well: Fieldwynn carries no price and no feature claim on this page, because it is not out yet.

The three questions that decide it for a pest route

Feature grids are built to make a comparison inconclusive. Three questions cut through, and you can answer all three about your own operation before you book a single demo.

Will the vendor tell you a price? In pest specifically this is not a nicety, it is the sharpest line in the market. Three of the six vendors here let you build a budget from the website. The other three, including the two biggest pest-first names, publish no subscription price at all. That split maps almost exactly onto company size: the software built for a route or two posts a number, and the software built for a branch network sends you to a consultant.

What does the bill actually scale on? Every priced vendor here meters something different. GorillaDesk scales on routes and charges a seat only for people assigned to a schedule. QuoteIQ includes a fixed user count in each tier. Jobber prices by a team-size band and then charges a flat rate per seat above it. FieldRoutes, uniquely, says in plain text that its subscription is based on your active customer count, which means your bill grows with your customer list even in a year you hire nobody. Same headcount, four different invoices.

Does the compliance paperwork live in the software? This is the question that separates pest from every other trade on this site. Chemical usage logs, re-entry intervals, applicator licence tracking and state application reporting are either in the tool or in a second system you maintain by hand. None of the six pricing pages we read makes a specific compliance claim, so this is the one axis you have to test in a demo rather than read off a card.

GorillaDesk: the pest-first vendor that posts a number

GorillaDesk is the only vendor in this set that is built for pest routes and still shows you a price without a sales call. Basic is $49/mo or $539/year, Pro is $99/mo or $1089/year, and Growth is $149/mo or $1639/year, with the annual option billed upfront for the year.

What it does well, on the published evidence, is remove the two costs that usually hide behind a plan card. The page states “No setup fees or contracts, completely free data migration” and describes the subscription as month to month with no contracts, no setup fees and no hidden gimmicks. It also publishes the seat rule most vendors bury: only users assigned to a specific schedule need a paid seat, which means you can have unlimited free users regardless of plan, alongside unlimited admin users and unlimited mobile devices. For a pest operation where an owner, a bookkeeper and a part-time office helper all need to look at the same calendar but only two technicians actually run routes, that rule is worth more than a tier of features.

Where it is thin: the page scales on routes through a slider asking how many routes you have, starting at one, and it publishes no per-route price and no price table by route count. So the three figures above are what a single-route operation sees, and a two-truck or five-truck quote has to come from working the slider yourself. The free trial has no stated length, and no payment-processing rate appears anywhere, which matters because card fees are usually the second-largest line after the subscription. The SMS add-on is priced openly at $5 per month plus credits, at $50 for 1000 texts, $100 for 2500 and $200 for 8000.

Who it fits: a one to three route operation that wants pest-shaped software, a published price and no contract, and is willing to work the route slider before signing. All figures as of 12 September 2026.

QuoteIQ: five tiers with the seat count printed on each

QuoteIQ publishes more of its pricing structure than anyone else here except Jobber, and it does the one thing that makes tiers actually comparable: it prints the included user count on every card. Essentials is $29.99/mo, or $25/mo billed annually at $299.99/year, with 1 user included. Beginner is $74.99/mo, or $62.50/mo annually at $749.99/year, with 2 users. Pro, marked most popular, is $149.99/mo, or $125/mo annually at $1,499.99/year, with 4 users. Elite is $299/mo, or $249/mo annually at $2,990/year, with 10 users. Max is $699/mo, or $582.50/mo annually at $6,990/year, with unlimited users.

What it does well is entry pricing and headcount clarity. At $29.99/mo for a single user it is the cheapest published entry point in this comparison, the annual saving is stated plainly as two months free, and there is a 14-day free trial and a price-lock guarantee on the page. Each tier also publishes a monthly AI credit allowance, from 500 on Essentials to 8,000 on Max, which is a real cost line stated up front rather than discovered later.

Where it is thin for pest specifically: nothing on the pricing page is pest-shaped. There is no chemical log, no applicator licence field, no re-entry interval, no state reporting language anywhere on the card. There is also no published price for an extra seat, so the only way to add a fifth user on Pro is to move up a whole tier, and the AI Website Builder is marked as an add-on on four of the five tiers without an add-on price. No setup fee and no payment-processing rate are published.

Who it fits: a solo operator or a two to four person crew that wants the lowest published monthly figure and can keep compliance records outside the software. One housekeeping note for anyone checking our work: the vendor serves its pricing page on myquoteiq.com.

Jobber: not pest-shaped, but every figure is on the page

Jobber is the most transparent vendor in this comparison and the one most likely to already be on your shortlist from a general search. It prices by a team-size band across three billing shapes, so a plan name on its own is not a price. Core is sold at the 1-user band only, at $49/mo with no commitment, $39/mo on a one-year commitment or $29/mo billed annually. At the 1-user band Connect runs $139 / $119 / $99 and Grow $199 / $169 / $149. At 5 users Connect is $199 / $169 / $149 and Grow $299 / $259 / $229. At 10 users they are $299 / $259 / $229 and $399 / $349 / $299. At 15 users Connect is $399 / $339 / $299 and Grow $499 / $429 / $399. Plus is offered only at the included-seat bands: “Includes 5 users” at $499 / $439 / $399, “Includes 10 users” at $599 / $499 / $449 and “Includes 15 users” at $699 / $599 / $529.

What it does well is publish the lines other vendors leave off entirely. Every extra seat beyond the included count is a flat $29/user/mo on every plan. Add-ons are priced openly at $99/mo for the Marketing Suite, $29/mo for the Receptionist and $49/mo for Pipeline. Payment processing is posted at 2.9% plus 30 cents per card, 2.7% plus 30 cents for Tap to Pay and 1% for bank payments, with instant payouts carrying an additional 1% fee. There is a 14-day free trial on the Grow plan with no credit card required. For a pest operation that takes card payments on recurring quarterly plans, that processing rate is a budgetable number rather than a surprise.

Where it is thin: nothing on the pricing page is pest-specific, and that flat seat price cuts both ways on a route. A technician who only clocks in and marks stops complete costs the same $29 as your office manager. To turn a plan card into your real monthly total with seats, add-ons and card volume folded in, the Jobber pricing calculator runs that math on your own numbers, and if Jobber is already your incumbent the Jobber alternatives teardown covers what a move actually costs.

Who it fits: a pest business that values a published, modellable bill over trade-specific compliance features, and keeps its chemical records elsewhere. In practice that usually means running a commercial pest control log book for the device and application record alongside a technician training record for the certification side.

PestPac: three tiers, no prices

PestPac is the name that appears in almost every pest software roundup, and its own pricing page publishes no price at all. Read on 12 September 2026, it shows three tiers by name, Small Business, Professional and Enterprise, each with a feature list and a “Get Started” button, and contains no dollar figure anywhere on the page. On how pricing is set it says only: “Speak with a consultant today for more information on pricing packages and to build a package best suited to your needs.”

What it publishes well is the shape of its ladder. Naming a Small Business tier alongside an Enterprise tier tells you the product is sold across a wide size range, which is useful to know before a call. What it does not publish is everything that would let you plan: no rate, no seat model, no implementation fee, no contract term, no processing rate.

You will find confident PestPac monthly figures on comparison sites, on aggregators and in competitor teardowns. None of them came from PestPac, so none of them appear here. That is the same rule this page applies to every vendor, including the app we are building ourselves.

Who it fits, on the published evidence alone: an operation large enough that a consultant call is a reasonable price of entry, and one that knows its own seat count and customer count well enough to hold a quote to them. Take five questions into that call: the monthly fee, the seats it covers, the implementation or onboarding fee, the contract term, and what happens to the price at renewal.

FieldRoutes: quote only, but it tells you what drives the bill

FieldRoutes publishes no price either, and it names two packages: “Growth”, described as “Ideal for Small Businesses”, and “Corporate”, described as “Perfect for Scaling”, each behind a “Request Pricing” button.

What it does well, and what genuinely separates it from PestPac in this comparison, is publishing the metering basis in plain text: “The monthly subscription is based on the number of active customers, which allows the business to scale cost-effectively”. That single sentence is more useful for planning than a headline rate would be, because it tells you which number in your own business moves your invoice. If you run recurring quarterly plans and your customer list grows every season, your FieldRoutes bill grows with it whether or not you add a truck or a technician. Model that on your own growth curve before the call.

Where it is thin: no dollar figure, no setup fee, no contract term and no seat price appear anywhere on the page. The vendor also states that it does not offer a free trial because of the software’s highly customizable nature, and offers a demonstration instead, so there is no low-commitment way to test it against a tool you can simply sign up for.

Who it fits: a growing route-based operation that expects its customer count to be the main driver of both revenue and software cost, and wants the software’s pricing to track that. Ask for the quote at your current active-customer count and again at the count you project in 24 months, because the vendor has told you exactly which lever to pull.

Briostack: no pricing page, but a published fee schedule

Briostack is the hardest vendor here to price, and the most interesting to read. Its /pricing URL returned HTTP 404 Not Found on 12 September 2026, and its home page publishes no pricing and links to no pricing page, routing instead to a demo request. That is the vendor’s own site telling us there is no published subscription price.

What it does publish, at briostack.com/additionalpricing, is an unusually complete schedule of everything that sits outside the subscription, and it is worth reading before any demo. Notifications: SMS at $.04 per text, MMS at $.05, calls at $.04 per minute, a 10DLC regulatory fee of $11, a claimed phone number at $1 monthly per number, and a $5 notification minimum bundle. Printed mail: a first black and white sheet at $.98 with additional sheets at $.08 and return envelopes at $.09, or $1.30 for a first colour sheet with additional sheets at $.29. Migration: non-standard data manipulation at $150 per occurrence, Platinum database consolidation at $900 per combined database, Sentricon migration at $500, post-live data manipulation at $300 per occurrence, and additional Silver imports at $250 per occurrence. Development and data: document conversion at $150 per document, new document creation and custom engineering at $150 per hour, a database backup at $500 per occurrence, restoration of a previous version at $750 per occurrence, data storage above 20GB per user license at $1 per 2GB, and extracted credit card data at $.25 per card on file.

Two things follow from that list. First, the storage line is the only place on Briostack’s own site that implies how the subscription is metered, and it implies per user license. Second, a pest operation that mails service notices and texts arrival windows to a few thousand customers can run a meaningful monthly bill through this schedule on top of whatever the subscription costs. Price that traffic yourself before you compare Briostack’s quote with anyone’s published plan.

Where it is thin, from a buyer’s seat: there is no way to know the base cost without a call, and no trial or self-serve path stated. Who it fits: an operation that wants deep pest-specific automation and treats a demo as a normal step, with the fee schedule above in hand as the list of questions.

Lining up the pricing pages

Here is every figure these six vendors publish for a small to mid-sized pest operation, with the gaps marked rather than filled.

The split runs three to three, and it is not random. The vendors that post a price are the ones sold to a route or two. The vendors built around pest compliance and branch operations all route you to a consultant, and two of the three will not even name a starting figure.

How we compared

The method is short enough to state in full, which is the point.

Every dollar figure on this page was read from the vendor’s own page on 12 September 2026 and is recorded in this page’s citations with the URL and that date. Nothing was taken from a review site, an aggregator, a competitor comparison or memory. Where a vendor publishes a tier name but no price, the cell reads “not published, quote only” and no range is inferred. Where a vendor’s pricing URL returned an error, the cell names the failure and the date, because a missing page and a withheld price are different facts and only one of them is ours to assert.

There are no star ratings and no winner. The metering differences above mean the same eight-person pest company produces a different ranking depending on whether it is billed on routes, on included seats, on team-size bands or on active customer count. Feature claims are limited to what each vendor states on the page we read. Where a pricing page says nothing about a capability, this page says nothing about it either, rather than filling the gap from a product tour.

Prices move. If you are reading this well after 12 September 2026, treat every figure as a shape and re-check the vendor’s page before you sign anything. If a figure here no longer matches the vendor’s page, the vendor’s page is right.

Making the number your own

The plan price is the floor, not the bill. Three lines move the real number more than the tier you pick: the seats or routes you add as you grow, the fees that sit outside the plan, and the card and messaging traffic your recurring customers generate every month. On Jobber that is processing on every payment you take. On Briostack it is texts, printed notices and migration work. On GorillaDesk it is the route count behind the slider. On PestPac and FieldRoutes it is everything, because nothing is published.

To compare a subscription against what it replaces, the field service software true cost calculator adds seats, processing and onboarding into one annual figure you can hold a quote against. The software only earns its line item if it converts office hours into field hours, so watch your technician utilization after you switch. On a pest route the lever that usually moves first is route density, and anything that puts quarterly service on recurring billing compounds quietly across a year, which is also the fastest way to see a change in churn rate.

Software is not the only number on a pest operator’s spreadsheet, and the price you charge moves your margin faster than the price you pay. The pest control pricing calculator prices a residential job from your own costs, the commercial pest control pricing calculator does the same for contract accounts with multiple service points, and the rest of the dilution, sizing and scheduling math sits on the pest control hub. If your shortlist is not actually pest-specific, the trade-agnostic teardown of the best field service software covers Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, Workiz, FieldPulse and Simpro alongside Jobber, on the same sourcing rule as this page. If the truck also runs a pool route, that trade meters differently again, mostly per serviced pool rather than per seat, and best pool service software compares Skimmer, PoolDial, Pool Brain, PoolTrac, Jobber and ServiceTitan on the same rule.

Fieldwynn, the app we are building

Time for that disclosure to earn out. Fieldwynn is a field service app for small crews, and it is being built now. It is not for sale today.

That means there is no Fieldwynn row in the tables above, and not because we left it out for modesty. There is no plan card, no processing rate and no seat model to publish, because none of them exist yet. Holding ourselves to the same rule we held PestPac, FieldRoutes and Briostack to means we print nothing we cannot cite, and right now that is nothing at all.

What there is, is an early access list. If you are running a pest route, counting stops against seats and wishing one of the options above was shaped differently, put your work email in below and you will hear from us when Fieldwynn reaches your trade.

That is the honest state of the pest software market on 12 September 2026. Work out what your bill will scale on before you compare plan prices, get every unpublished fee in writing before you sign, and trust a figure on a vendor’s own page over a confident number on anyone else’s.
